Conceptual Problems of International and World Order Formation

Abstract

The problem of a new international order formation is associated with a number of interrelated issues: changing the role of a state in the international arena, strengthening non-state actors in international relations, the impact of globalization on the political, economic and cultural spheres, interdependence and more. The aim of the article is to form a holistic view of the formation of the new international order in the context of global international political transformations, as well as to determine the fundamental difference between the international and world order. The use of a systematic approach makes it possible to study the international order as a set of relations between the main actors of international relations. It is established that the scientific category “international order” should be distinguished from “world order”. Given the existence of an institutional framework between states, an international order can exist without a world order. “International order” can move to a qualitatively new state of a “world order” when the process of ordering will involve all international actors without exception.
